Jeff; I do agree with you. I recently inherite this situation (temporarily)
and since I'm still in training for WIN2K; I try to accommodate our DBA as
much as I can. That is why I'm trying to get this information so as to make
the right decision as to the rights he would have.
I'm just wondering as to why a DBA should need to administer the WIN2K
servers. Or is it that it just happened to be the situation in your company?

Thank you very much

mike
